Taking on Miami on Tuesday night, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team played a three-guard lineup consisting of Kadary Richmond, Joe Girard and Buddy Boeheim for extended time. The lineup proved to be effective with Richmond at the point and Boeheim on the wing, playing the bottom of the 2-3 zone defensively.

Miami had jumped out to a quick 9-2 lead by the first media timeout and Marek Dolezaj picked up his second foul shortly thereafter. He was replaced by Jesse Edwards and Richmond substituted for Boeheim. The Orange immediately went on a 9-0 run fueled by two Richmond steals.
